Hollyland Lark M1 Wireless Lav Mic Review: Affordable Pro Audio for Creators! | Raymond Strazdas

[@raystrazdas]

Hey guys! Here's my review of an awesome new wireless lav mic from Hollyland called the Lark M1! It's great for creators and video producers on a budget. What do you think of how it sounds?

Hi raymond, whenever i record from my iphone then it just uses the iPhone microphone. Please help me asap! I have content to shoot

[@shawnavictoriaa]

@@GabeRutherfordFitness did you ever figure it out?

[@GabeRutherfordFitness]

@@shawnavictoriaa wires the wrong way round like an idiot

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

Have you seperated the audio and video in an editing platform to edit the sound from the Lark M-1 ? I believe the "stereo setting" is especially for editing software (unless it's for keeping sound in both playback speakers...). Keep trying new things with the new gear_😉and make some follow-up content 👍

[@PapaxLeee]

I truly appreciate you taking it a step further and using both mics at the same time, that's what I've been looking for. Thanks much man!

By far the best review I’ve ever seen on any product in my opinion. This guy is amazing does not waste so I can give it to you everything that you could’ve possibly thought to think of and then a whole lot more. Two thumbs up

[@bradleyhagy3253]

Not the best, he said affordable but he never gave the price. Not good.

[@KodaHarpole]

@@bradleyhagy3253probably because pricing can change but a simple little Amazon search will give you the price buddo. 🎉

[@robbiedhabi]

Hey Ray, great video. I literally just bought these online 2 hours ago. I bought based on price and a few reviews I read... I'm glad (and a little relieved) to see you had an awesome review. Mucho gracias amigo!

[@Crix_Gaming]

This man not only sold me on this mic, but professionally manhandled that conversation like all men need to learn how to do. Big props lol

[@IbbySS.]

Came for the mic, stayed for the cat distribution system

[@Erik_ElPatron]

[@cungtruong0282]

? can. you use a microphone lavalier and a bluetooth headset at the same time? I what to use this to give lecture to class and also listen to cue from the phone so I can give a lecture

[@pepperthekobold]

Can the receiver operate while charging via USB-C? I can alternate microphones for effectively unlimited battery life on that end, but I'd like to leave the receiver permanently connected to my PC. The lavalier mic I currently have won't work while charging, which is a real pain.

[@backteesgolf]

Love having the two units tested together in your video! Getting this system for our golf videos for on course use.

[@slightlyopinionated8107]

this is what quality content looks like. hit on all the points we wanted to know and also guilt tripped me for the cat i found so now i will go see if it has a microchip lol had no idea that existed

[@raystrazdas]

lol love that you enjoyed the video! Be sure to check for a microchip on the cat you found. My cat had one but it was never registered to anyone…now I have a cat 😂

[@DCTravelerExperience]

Can I connect it to my M1 MacBook Pro using the 3.5mm jack and TRS/TRRS cables provided in the box?

[@DoctorFashion]

great review ! Adding to cart

[@deaniiedgaming7526]

Can you link where you got the iPhone adapter or the iPhone cord for this mic to work with iPhones

[@elvisislive]

Thank you so much I've been looking for an affordable lav mic with good quality

[@Bamaoutdoors]

Thanks for the review! Which gain setting was you using with the mic high medium or low?

[@JarelGuidoSmoke]

I BOUGHT THE MIC BEFORE THE VIDEO WAS OVER, GREAT REVIEW!

[@TonyRush21]

Can a lav mic be attached to the mic units?

[@DonMungia]

I'm here for the Cat Story. 😂👍

[@Gaurav29dec]

Maine lia hai ye , pr mere Android se connect nahi ho raha hai , type C to 3.5 wala audio jack bhi lagaya fir bhi Connect nahi hua , how to connect any help please

[@FlashGun_574]

Do these create a back up recording of all audio directly to the transmitter like a DJI? This would be extremely handy for shooting over 30 minutes. I’m hoping it does.

[@Br4d]

Wish you’d have mentioned that you need a separate connector for the iPhone. Would have reconsidered my purchase

[@johnvem949]

I just got mine. I'm having a hard time just turning it on. How do I know when the battery has been recharged enough? Or how do I know if the re-charger is working at all (when the batteries are inside)?

[@zentnium3801]

Other than walking 5 feet away from each other when we are trying to learn the range Great video

[@veronicagdowning]

I bought this microphone because, as a journalism student, I am TIRED of fooling with the super-long corded omnidirectional Lavalier microphone during interviews. The interviewees never know how to wear it; it's nearly impossible to hide under clothes and plain cumbersome to work with. The Hollyland microphone was a suggestion from a former professor I had during my undergrad who regularly uses this microphone. I'm glad that I have taken his advice.

[@DSGQR]

How does this compare to the DJI system?

[@WillNewcomb]

Thanks for using the mic right from the beginning. Far too many audio reviewers leave it right to the end or don't even have any demo audio at all!

[@raystrazdas]

You’ve very welcome. Glad you found it helpful!

[@Fitandover40]

Does it have an internal storage bank as the DJI's? Thanks for the video

[@57JackCaptainSparrow]

There's no 3.5mm mic input for a lavalier microphone, so using for weddings probably won't work, but they look like great vlog/travel mics!

[@raystrazdas]

Agreed. These are definitely more for vlogs & travel. I would go with the Lark Max if you plan to do more pro stuff like weddings

[@ptgizmo]

I got one have NOT been able to get it to work with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I have no idea what to do now. So far it has been a complete waste of money.

[@wanderer1955]

Is the cable that connects the receiver to the camera, included in the package, please.

[@sushreeth0412]

Hello Ray, could you please guide on how to transfer the audio files from the mark m2 hollyland mic to MacBook air - if a camera version is purchased and not the combo pack

[@combat_casual]

This sold the unit for me.

[@Hoodeene]

Hi, Thanks for the test. Is it a glitch at 04:06-04:07 in the transmission? Cheers

[@yesiambrooklyn]

Omg I needed this review soo good... and living for the cat story..summer!! 😂🎉🎉

[@OurRollingVoyageORV]

So I use a Canon EOS R6. I can only get sound on one channel on each mic. How can I get one mic to produce sound on both left and right channel?

[@Hedefiskeri]

Excellent review. Great job!😊

[@raystrazdas]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@privvvvvv]

i love whoever that woman is

[@sixtyforty9349]

Thanks for the review!May I ask which LIghtning to 3.5mm do you use/ recommend?

[@Taknight2006]

I think he uses Hollyland 3.5mm TRS Male to USB Type C/Lightning

[@JoeyHerbertt]

Can you use the mic while the transmitter is charging via usb-c?

[@thelonelyguysproductions8157]

Does this has play back with RX plugged in ? Or we need to remove the Rx to listen to the audio that we recorded?

[@rpsota23]

Have you tested stereo mode? I try on my Samsung Note 20 ultra with Samsung usb C to 3.5mm and no success. I purchased just one mic...

[@adecole859]

At 33 seconds into the video. May I ask what action camera the Hollyland was mounted on. I’ve got the Hollyland but need an action camera that it mounts to easily.

[@GoDetailerGo]

With the DJI lapel the sound is recording onto the transmitter itself... with the Hollyland Is the sound recorded onto the device I'm using? So for example if I want to pair it with a Insta360 will it record onto the insta360 memory card?

[@alexnicoll95]

Bought it and came back to give you my commission lol thank you!!

[@raystrazdas]

That’s so awesome!! Thank you very much!! So glad you found the video helpful! 😃

[@TheJeepees]

Hi, nice video, but I was wondering how have you connected the Hollyland to the insta360 oneR ? do you have the insta360 usb-c-3.5mm adapter that you connected the hollyland to ?

[@abelluciano]

Great review thanks!

[@didikpurwanto2804]

Can I use this to talk over the cellphone?

[@chihmaohsieh6521]

Does anybody here know whether this Hollyland Lark M1 will fit within the stitch line of the Insta360 One X2?

[@aspassoperilgiappone]

thanks for the video. Can this be used on Pixel Phone?

[@Sam_pah]

Would this wotk for go pro 11? Trying to use this for motovlog

[@Madfakh]

Is that better than Saramonic?

[@youmeandkerala]

Does it work with Gopro 10?

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

Best review !

[@TC_Prof]

Great wireless mic guys. Nice review too! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@hosnospslygap]

Great video. For colors, I love it. Since it has many colors to be choosen. However, after studying on KZbin, I think it does not perform well when it's on camera. As my plan, I think I will choose SYNCO G2A2.

[@Zudigital24]

I just bought this two seconds ago and I ran to yt for this review 🤣

[@jayson8326]

This or synco p2l?

We actually ended up finding her home that she came from shortly after this video went out!

[@pickleballsfoodie]

thanks Raymond, was it easy to transfer the file onto the PC or Mac? Also wish it has a wireless phone adaptor

[@andresbenjamin3067]

dont ever again put glitch sfx on a microphone review video hahaha

[@raystrazdas]

Did you think that was the mic doing that at first? 😂

[@brianbaugusmusic]

I mean no disrespect but it’s kind of funny that most of your footage is b roll “behind the scenes” style footage of you “reviewing” the product, but you never use the actual footage in the video. So it’s like you staged b roll of you reviewing the microphone for your review of the microphone lol

[@JustAsaph]

so she catnapped a cat!? jk nice mic getting one.

[@unzin-rb6pm]

she may have cats, but she doesn't seem like a 'crazy' cat lady to me. the pink or blue hair is missing. also, she doesn't seem to hate men with a passion since she seems to date one... anyway, those mics work perfect. nice confirmation on a nice product.

[@driggsy]

I’m so impressed by this mic. Thank you for the awesome review! It’s on sale for Black Friday as well 🤯

[@afngsjsykeyi]

Great video as always!!I purchased the synco g2 a little while ago now. Very impressive, and has everything I need.

[@franklinrashid8804]

God bless you brother

Did you have to set up any settings on the mic? I have been trying to use mine and I’m not having the same type of range

[@MrTeslaX]

Haha lady is funny!

[@michaelloy9013]

No internal recording get the hell outa here

[@PauonYT]

hi, may i know where did you get your microphone adapter for iPhone 13 pro for it to work with lark m1?

[@derrayco]

Hello Raymond, I purchased the Lark C1 to easily record podcasts on the go and have a question. Although both microphones are recognized separately by the receiver, they are combined into one signal. Is there a way to get a separate signal from each of the two microphones? I haven't found such an option. I would be very grateful for a quick answer. Best regards from Berlin Rayco

[@literallyjeff]

Not sure if it's possible with the C1

[@derrayco]

​@@literallyjeff In the meantime I received an email from Hollyland and they confirmed that Lark C1 only works in mono mode. Lark M1 works in mono and stereo, but has no smartphone connection. I have now decided on the brand new “Lark Max”. It costs twice as much, but it is also the premium class.👍

[@ELIMindfulInvestor]

Mine gets super hot when connected to my iPhone. I am scared to record more than 1 minute. Any suggestions

I'm Sorry but the cable connected to the phone and showed on the video Is not included in the box...

Curious what you mean by that. There are a bunch of different accessories available out there for it

[@txmade210]

Liar

[@TRAYEZIM1]

HOW TO RECIEVE THE AUDIO AFTER FILMING DOES THE AUDIO GO INSIDE THE TRANSMITTER OR CAMERA

[@360scream]

One question. Does insta 360 one rs supports Type C Wireless Mic system or not? Like Hollyland Lark M2 Android version.

[@847lifestyle]

anyone using this on the gopro 11?

[@charlesclayton643]

I got a GoPro 11 for Christmas, debating between this and the DJI kit.

[@ThisLIFEisR]

How is it connected to Mac Pro?

Is this a little piece from a cat at your neck? 😈😽😜

[@duluwatv]

thank you. could you please suggest me handheld grip for Holyland lark m1

for anyone considering the purchase.. get the charging case, I didn't and I forsee it being a pain in the ass lol

[@LitFinancially]

great video!

[@GustavoChavez-y2m]

not complete your review.. you did not speak about how works with one mic, or what to do to make it stereo or mono.. etc

[@kaffepojke]

I have just purchased this microphone and I am waiting for Amazon to deliver it. I am wondering, what is the best way to connect the receiver to my Behringer 1204 USB audio mixer. The mixer has XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs, but does not have any 3.5mm inputs. Thanks for any advice.

[@amarjitverma6002]

How is the mic dude?
